The API reads release_pack from the registry entry, not the inherited config, and the picker gets release-advertised.json. The lookup counts emulators that read a file by name, every record names what was declared, the Data page lists all schemas, the target lists and nested manifest fields, and systems.json items carry their api address.
A profile pinned to one platform's build (pin_frozen) answers after the emulator, as a frozen_snapshot does: Flycast now answers dc bios missing ahead of Reicast and Flycast 2021 LE. terms weighs 30, so the version table answers which mame version first, and the gate now asks for rank 1 there. The search field test names the five fields, since round 4 item 2.4 put the title meta on the h1.
The glance on the installer page is written from install.py's argument parser when the page is built, grouped by GLANCE_GROUPS. An option no group names lands under Other, so a new option cannot be left off the page.
Root pages nothing produced are swept, so a table moved to a platform page no longer keeps the address its redirect needs. Data tree pages name their readers, board crumbs end on the Arcade page once, fba2012 is headed FB Alpha 2012, test profiles get no page, and the installer glance lists --declared-only and --offline. sitesources.py goes through run_cli.
check_freshness reports source-paths.json STALE when it records a tree no profile pins any more, and tools.md names sitesources.py --fetch where pins move.
BizHawk's tile takes EmuHawk's application icon (ApplicationIcon in its csproj) instead of an account avatar. MinUI has no logo of its own: its entry and copy go, and fetch_site_images.py now removes the copy of a platform without a logo.
validate_schemas.py read install-events.schema.json from the real tree while a test pointed ROOT at a scratch one, and test_schema_semantic_gate.py called unittest.main() before its last class.
Start lines count which emulators require a file, arcade cards are grouped by board, romsets match by CRC32, cards name emulators and group setups by place, and parts carry parent, neighbours and a name.
The render step's npm build wrote Node's compile cache to /tmp, a 4 GB
tmpfs on this host, and a day of pipeline runs filled it to 3.4 GB.
Every child the pipeline starts now carries NODE_DISABLE_COMPILE_CACHE=1.
select_views stopped on the first repository that answered as gone, so
yuzu's source_mirror was never read and the profile stayed unchecked. A
gone repository is now passed over, and a profile declared gone that
answers only through its mirror is not reported as a contradiction.
--declared-only keeps the entries the platform's own list declares
(cores: null), each slot settled to the platform's copy with no core
alternative left behind. Install, --check, --dry-run, --events,
--list-systems, --system, --region, --emulator, --target,
--installed-cores, --manifest and --from-pack apply it. --core,
--list-cores, --list-emulators, --list-platforms, --list-targets,
--standalone-copies, --restore and --tui refuse it, and the interface
does not open by itself with it. On Batocera it gives 353 files of
14531, the list batocera-systems checks.
Event decision: no schema bump. A `declared` key on `file` would add a
key to an existing kind, which schema 1 forbids. A new kind, `declared`,
follows `check` with the same counts over the platform's own files and
their dests in file-event order. Readers already skip a kind they do
not know (rbevents.py and the interface reader were checked), so
EVENT_SCHEMA stays 1.
An unknown --system is answered with the systems the list files its
key file under: --platform retroarch --system snk-neogeo now suggests
arcade, which holds neogeo.zip, instead of snk-neogeo-cd. neogeo, mvs
and aes follow the same route. Never taken, only suggested. A system
title the manifest carries (SNK Neo Geo CD) is taken for its id when
no other system shares it and no platform name reads the same.
schemas/install-events.schema.json is written from EVENT_KEYS by
scripts/generate_event_schema.py. validate_schemas.py reports a stale
file, and tests compare it with EVENT_KEYS and validate a real run.
Bootstrap pins recomputed.
A device setup with no ZIP and a cited network folder gets the command run from a computer into that folder. Every setup with a ZIP links the offline install, the Linux handhelds guide opens with a jump to its download, home and the setup index drop the stray Reference labels, the index lists the handheld tiles, and Get your files answers iPhone and iPad with each app's own steps.
Allium, JELOS, KOLOS and MiyooCFW folders come from their own trees at the revision the installer reads. Rows with no cited folder point at RetroArch's System/BIOS setting, and a folder only Linux reads says so. KNULLI's SAMBA switch is linked, AmberELEC's roms share is named, the MinUI family says the command makes each folder, and an iPhone and iPad tile joins the handheld group.
A platform or emulator record whose value designates a collection
file carries its sha1 and is filed under the file's other hashes, so
a SHA1 paste finds the setups listing it by MD5. The data page shows
every manifest field, writes URL templates as code, states the EmuDeck
rule, the browser lookup and the empty lists. systems.json gives every
id holding files a page, Files to source splits at 100 rows with an
upload link per file, and MiSTer and BizHawk get no empty core table.
An EmuDeck entry names no file: the system passes when any file
directly in the BIOS folder has one of its md5, as checkBIOS.sh loops
over "$biosPath/"*. The script looked each one up as a file named
system:md5 and reported 134 of 170 entries missing.
The deploy has no tree cache, so a citation it could not check was
linked into the declared repository: 30 paths answered 404. The paths
held at each pin are now recorded in website/src/data/source-paths.json
by python scripts/sitesources.py, and a path absent from it renders as
code. An address inside a shipped binary reads as one.
Release packs now exist for six platforms only, and install.py refuses a
pack named for another. build_port.py writes packs.txt from the
registry's release_pack groups. Offline, the launcher takes only a pack
spelling the detected system, names that pack, or says no release pack
serves it and gives Wi-Fi or the computer route.
An app found by content says to get one BIOS of any name and where it goes, with no install command it cannot carry out. Every arcade core names its romset, part pages name their parent and neighbours, a required file says which system it serves, and the core template leaves the index.
Start + Select now kills a sentinel the launcher owns, and the launcher
asks the interface to stop, so a running install still writes its result.
A mapper that dies, a chvt the compositor refuses, a terminal app that
cannot open and a read-only card each end the run or hand over to the
next route instead of a console waiting for a button. muOS starts
gptokeyb2 with -X and keeps muxterm off the pad so Y opens the options.
upstream_frozen says why upstream_commit stays: the port vendors that
upstream tree, synced to that release, or merged that commit. The view
is then read at its own pin, the way pin_frozen holds source_commit, and
a bump leaves it. Outside a GitHub fork network nothing else could tell
aps3e's vendored RPCS3 1f080485 from an upstream read on a date.
--check-version said pcsx2x6's v0.2.22 was older than its code because
the pin holds release v0.2.20, the latest the project published. A
release that is an ancestor of the declared tag is not a later one.
A folded run rewritten whole keeps its separators (boom3, mame), a
double-quoted source_ref is matched as the loader reads it and escaped on
write (etlegacy), two files sharing a name take their build mode in the
field path (supermodel Games.xml), and a project word ending the line
before a path marks the citation external (genesis_plus_gx_expanded).
get/<platform>/ lists the files of the current release pack, read from
release.json, or gives the command for a setup without one. The README,
setup pages, Get your files and the release notes link it instead of
asset URLs, which die with each deleted tag. Setups without a ZIP say so
with the command beside it, and validate_site checks every get/ page.
release_pack: true in the registry is the list a release builds: RetroArch,
EmuDeck, RetroBat, Batocera, RomM and MiSTer, 83% of the downloads of
v2026.10.10. generate_pack --all, --verify-packs, the pipeline consistency
step, release_record and check_release read it. Manifests are still written
for every platform.
The files-to-source table outgrew one page and split in two. Both
parts opened on the same intro, which is the page description, and
validate_site refused the duplicate. Each part now opens on "Part n of
N.". The element-budget exception for the unsplit table is gone: the
parts hold 8,987 and 7,674 elements.
mame_hash_scraper --release rewrote the whole profile and dropped the
pin_frozen that mame0258 and mame0278 carry: libretro/mame HEAD is a
later release, so without it profile_sync compares their refs with code
the Recalbox build never had. A release profile now states it, from
built_by, and keeps the reason a reader wrote.
realign_prose stripped a path prefix, or read a path two repositories
share, in the repository whose pin moved, while the profile meant the
other. hatarib's hatari/src/tos.c became hatari/hatari's src/tos.c, and
freej2me_plus's fork citations were read in hex007/freej2me: 32 and 8
citations asked to be read again although their files were unchanged.
The path as written now decides first, and a shared path belongs to the
repository declared first, as in attribution.
test_a_frozen_build_files_its_content_with_the_build_that_follows paired
every pin_frozen profile with every live one of the same source. It now
skips platform builds (built_by), and requires the frozen systems to be
a subset: a later release can add a board (advancemame's coh1002v).
